Dubai Cooking gas cylinders will cost 12 per cent less in northern emirates, including Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Ajman, from Sunday, Adnoc distribution announced yesterday.

“The price of 25lbs (11kg) cooking gas cylinder will drop by Dh6 from Sunday. The price will fall from Dh49 to Dh43,” Adnoc distribution said in a statement.
